Josh refuses to outlaw "ACHTUNG" - while forum is worse off for it.

Have a good morning.

Achtung is a German word that can be translated as 'Danger" or "Attention."

Not how you use it.

Must see and Emmy worthy TV tonight - being shown again at midnight, Fox News

Tucker Carlson regarding the night George Floyd perished.

If you aren't interested that says an awful lot about your character, to not have such pertinent information ahead of such an important trial.

I saw 8:46 of reality.

Thumb up.   And if there's "pertinent information" then it will come out in the actual trial,  won't it?   (as opposed to some infotainer propagandist who likes to jerk off in front of a camera)

Yes, of course

The Carlson segment is a preview, so that you are not surprised.

Half of you will not watch it - the other half will but will not comment

Makes for great 2-sided forum (he said jovially)

Nazis were among the terrorists who stormed the Capitol and came damn close to decapitating the presidential succession. One guy had on 6MWNE gear.

And they were looking for one guy in particular.

“Where’s the big Jew?”

Achtung, bitches...

Apparently some members at Elba can't figure out you're using "achtung" in the sense of attention,  as in "pay attention" . 

The "six million was not enough" is chilling.   It's not difficult to study a little history and get some inkling of what happens when any grievance group starts looking around for a minority to blame.

Enabler.



UNO is of course correct in his assessment.  As used by LBNDC it is an aggressive use of the (word) phrase and has no place in proper forum.

But it is Josh's call.  And he will likely let it go even as it is right there in his face as the correct thing to do.

Peace, all. 

[Hairy Lime]

It looks like kiid takes "Achtung" personally. Interesting.

[barton]

Kid...

Tell us how he's misusing the word.   Or,  for that matter, how I misuse it -- I've written an "achtung" here,  with the same meaning.   Pay attention,  here is an event or phenomenon or trend which reflects a fascistic mindset that has parallels to the development of fascistic movements in the previous century...

If you're telling members not to say certain things, aren't you bringing that "cancel culture" you profess to loathe?

I enable no one.   I just agree or disagree.

Tucker Carlson could be broadcasting in my living room and I wouldn't watch him.  I do find it interesting Kid's suggestion that watching that clown is some sort of civic duty.

Bullshit. Larry knows it's offensive to Jews. It's been pointed out to him numerous times. It's been explained that grammar nazi, soup nazi, et alia diminish the term and softens the criminality of the perpetrators if the Holocaust.

But he repeats it.

Nigga, please.

There was some reason to watch Fox & Fascists during the Trump Reich as to understand coming messages and der fuehrer and distruption it would cause society.

Now he have Joe and competence and democracy seems to be in vogue, at least when it comes with $1.9T (pardon my cynacism) and Fox serves no purpose and its master is hiding in disgrace, probably trying to avoid being served.

While I find Carlson an obnoxious smug racist playing to and tryin to exploit soceity's basest fears. I  keep on eye on the disloyal opposition from time to time to see what the hate du jour is.

Now lets get America working again and make it great once again!

Arbeit macht Frei!

its not offensive to Jews it’s offensive to you because I said it.

I bet you jizzed in your pants writing  ‘nigga.’


Fuck off”

[bankshot1]

I for one am gratified that Larry speaks with such confidence and certainty of what offends Jews.

My brother from another bubbie!

I'm not particularly offended by "Achtung" but as posted before, found it pretty funny and hypocritical that the guy who uses it as basically his sig line, accused another  of being a grammar nazi.

You just don't find unintentional comedy like that every day!

We in Elba are more or less the same age and likely impacted by similiar influences and cultural experiences. Not a perfect overlay but close.

My guess is if i were to conduct a survey on "achtung" in real-world US, of a 50-70 aged population, a large portion of that sample would probably associate the phrase with a German soldier from WW2 (movie or documentary) ordering cowed victims to get in line, board a train or it was time to take a shower.

But those images and associations either escape Larry, or he's indifferent to them.

But its "Larry's Choice" to use a phrase that many might associate with the atrocities of the Third Reich.

Me and and the boys down at the Golf & Dreidel Club understand you perfectly.
